2020 FIFA World Futsal Championship will be held in Lithuania. This was decided by the 37-member FIFA Council, meeting Friday in the Kigali (Rwanda) Convention Center.

“We are happy. It is a huge honor and a huge responsibility for the whole country. We have all the infrastructure, but we are expecting a very big job, ” said Tomas Danilevičius, President of the Lithuanian Football Federation, who has been actively seeking support for Lithuania’s appeal over the past year.

The championship was sponsored by four countries: Lithuania, Iran, Japan, and New Zealand. Lithuania was the only representative of Europe, which has the largest membership in the FIFA Council, and the last time the Hall of Fame World Cup in the Old Continent was held 22 years ago – in 1996 in Spain.

The championship will take place in 2020. September 12 – October 4.

The Lithuanian Football Federation (LFF) nominated for the tournament in 2016. FIFA’s decision was due to be revealed in the past year, but the final hearing was postponed until 26 October 2018.

“UEFA President Aleksander Cheferin has repeatedly expressed support for our bid to organize the tournament. Such support has not come from anywhere – in the meetings with the President, we have provided a detailed introduction to our goals, opportunities, and resources for the preparation of the competition. In addition, UEFA executives have already made sure of our experience, “T. Danilevich said before the FIFA Council meeting.

Lithuania was well received in the preparation of 2013. European U-19 Men’s Championship Final and 2018 WU-17 Girls Championship Final. Lithuania was entrusted with hosting a European Premier League Cup (UEFA Futsal Euro) Preliminary Selection Competition in Vilnius and the European Women’s Championship Selection Championship in Prienai, as well as the selection of the UEFA Cup Football Champions League and the final tournament.

This decision means that Lithuania will also participate in the championship as the host automatically gets one seat among the 24 final tournament participants. The remaining 23 participants will be cleared through the selection.

The participants in the final tournament will be divided into six groups. The best two team teams and four best 3rd place teams will qualify for 16 selective playoffs.

UEFA members have 7 places in the world championship, one of them – Lithuania.

Facts about the World Futsal Championship:

Participating nations: 24 teams (host country and 23 teams who have won the selection)

Ongoing: Every 4 years in an equal year between the Football World Cup

If you’re on this page, you’ve at least considered the idea of putting on the jersey, badge, and whistle and taking charge of a game. Refereeing can be an enjoyable and fun experience, and a great way to stay involved in the beautiful game of futsal. Read on for some of the great benefits of being a Referee!

EXERCISERefereeing a futsal game is good exercise. You can be inside with AC and run around, enjoy exciting games, and make a few dollars. It can keep you in shape for your own sports, help you lose weight, or just have some fun.

THE KIDS

The game needs referees. Referees are there to make sure the game is fair, fun, and safe. You are doing a service to the community and to the players, coaches, and fans. Just remember, people have been playing the beautiful game for a long time and some of the best games ever played were in backyards, parks, or backstreets without a single fan, coach or referee. Just players who wanted to play and just enjoy kicking the ball around. You are not bigger than the game.

CHALLENGE

Life is full of challenges and being a referee is a perfect way to learn how to meet them head-on and know that you can handle them. Futsal is an emotional game. Players get excited. Fans get excited. Coaches get excited. Learning how to cope with their emotions while keeping yours in check will serve you well throughout your life. Other challenges are pushing yourself to learn more, run longer and faster, and work better with your partners. As the referee, you are in charge and your decision is final. However, that does not mean you are not responsible for your actions and that you are all-powerful. A referee who officiates because of the power usually does not last long. Players, coaches, fans, and fellow officials sense this power hunger and soon want to avoid you.

MONEY

There are not too many things that a young person can do that pays as well as being a futsal referee. You can work for a few hours and make some pretty good money. As you improve and work higher level games, the money improves. The hourly rate is higher than working at a fast-food restaurant and you can work outside. Don’t kid yourself though. You won’t get rich and the season does not go year-round. There will some weekends where you want to do other things. The money is good but it’s not worth it all by itself. You need to look for more than just money to enjoy being a referee.

KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge is a great thing. The more you know, the more you can do and see. With a complete knowledge of the Laws of the Game, you are a better referee, a better player, a better coach, and a better fan. This training package and the clinic to follow is the beginning of this journey to learn more about the game and the Laws. You must never stop learning.

FRIENDSHIP

Becoming a Futsal official is a great way to meet friends that have similar interests. Working with different referees help you understand how different people can be so much like you and that you have as much to learn from them as they have to learn from you. Some of the people you will meet will become your friends for the rest of your life. Take the time to get to know them and understand them.

https://naplesfutsal.com/backgroundchecks/#respondMon, 06 Aug 2018 22:15:54 +0000https://naplesfutsal.com/?p=1863OVERLAND PARK, KS, August 6, 2018 – Power of Protection: United States Youth Futsal (https://www.usyouthfutsal.com) will require comprehensive background checks for the upcoming 2018/19 season
As of August 6, 2018, U.S. Youth Futsal (USYF) will mandate background checks for all registered coaches and team managers as part of the organization’s focus on player safety.

“At US Youth Futsal, we want to do everything we can to keep our players safe,” said Jon Parry, Executive Director and founder of USYF. “Our goal is to develop players and this can only truly be accomplished in a safe environment. As a parent, I know how important peace of mind is and it is important to know that USYF coaches have all been carefully screened by a comprehensive background check. As a national organization, we are proud to require that our coaches pass an in-depth background check before they coach any of our 50,000+ players.”

US Youth Soccer / Cal North settled a lawsuit filed over failing to have mandatory background checks and the youth athletic world has been rocked with the convictions of serious predators. “It is unfortunate that today’s parents have to confront these issues,” said Parry. “We want parents to have the peace of mind that coaches at USYF have been through a national background check.”

“U.S. Youth Futsal is committed to protecting the youth that they serve and we are honored to play an important role in that effort by providing a new level of comprehensive risk management support. The U.S. Youth Futsal background checks will search the largest amount of criminal record data in the industry today,” said David A. Stinnett, President & CEO, Reference Services, Inc.

“In addition to providing the best background check, our goal at Reference Services is to educate sports organizations with critical knowledge so they can mitigate risk in their organizations and utilize best practices,” added Stinnett. “This knowledge translates into empowered organizations who can protect themselves and make the right decisions to protect our youth.”

The mandatory background checks are part of the U.S. Youth Futsal (USYF) new Player Safety Initiatives. USYF continues to take a leadership position in the youth sports’ world and offers programs for players of all levels including Futsal I.D., International Teams, Coaching Education, Referee Development and the newly launched USYF Academy program providing comprehensive training for elite players.

WHAT DOES USYF BACKGROUND CHECK COVER?

Organizations like USYF with coaches all over the country have a moral and a legal obligation to provide a safe environment for those that they serve.

Every organization has to decide what type of background check they want to require. Some national and state organizations restrict their background checks to just one specific state or area — others use less comprehensive database searches or onl

y do them every two years.

The bad news is that there isn’t a standard screening protocol that all organizati

ons abide by and the variation.

ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL CHILDREN’S ASSESSMENT CENTER:
Most child sexual abusers are men and can be respected members of the community drawn to settings where they gain easy access to children like schools, clubs, and churches. They come from all age groups, races, religions and socioeconomic classes.

Most victims know and trust their abusers.

It isn’t strangers our children have to fear most. USYF sets a high standard with their Player Safety Initiatives and we want everyone to know that all background screening companies are not the same. USYF has selected REFERENCE Services (RSI) through Stack Sports/U.S. Soccer Connect for Background Checks.

What does the USYF Background Check Cover?

They expertly uncover criminal records and other important informati

on that other companies routinely miss. REFERENCE Services’ Nationwide Criminal Search is made up of over:
• 500 million records from over 1200+ sources, including Departments of Correction (DOC)— the search identifies state felony convictions, including incarceration.
• National, international, state and federal searches including the U.S. Sex Offender Report is included.
• The USYF background report identifies sex offenders by searching records in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Guam and Puerto Rico. With over 100,000 sex offenders in the U.S. frequently on the move, this information is critical for every employer, regardless of position or industry.
• OFAC Patriot Act Search (Office of Foreign Assets Control), OIG (Office of the Inspector General) & Other Key Sources — Included with Nationwide Criminal Report are also searched.
The background check also includes a powerful high-speed search of U.S. and foreign sanctions and watch lists including the Office of Foreign Assets Control “OFAC” Patriot Act Search (Office of Foreign Assets Control) as well as the FBI Fugitive List, OIG – Department of Health & Human Services Exclusion List, and Interpol’s Most Wanted.

At USYF, we want to create the most positive player development environment possible — we want to instill a passion for the game, inspire our players and share the joy. We can only do this when we are all in a safe environment.
